Hey Stackers!
I visited a town in peru that is desperately poor because I’ve heard that they were adopting Bitcoin. The stories they shared and the use of Bitcoin surprised and shocked me.
I hope you enjoy the slower pace this video, which hopefully allows more space for the deeper topics that I explored.
Equally, I hope it inspires you to do more With Bitcoin to demonstrate that Bitcoin is not just for the privilege few.
Love and sats! Joe

I have lived in Peru for a few years, and there are really many districts this poor where they do not have access to water or electricity. I had no idea that in Carabayllo there is an area where they trade with bitcoin, I have not yet met anyone here who I know about this topic. Thanks for sharing

How do they trade btc? by hand writing it on the blockchain?

Did you meet anyone running a full verification node or LN channel?
reply
In Lima, yes. In this place hell no 🤣

Training how to run a node is a great way to learn a lot more about Bitcoin and to verify their on chain transactions. Might be something Motiv would be motivated to teach.
reply
Yeah I think it’s a question of priorities

I hear you. I won't belabor the point, but running at least one node in Bitcoin Town™ makes a lot of sense to me. A great way to teach the next generation about the technology of Bitcoin at the foundational level.

And overall, it was a lovely video and really appreciate your exploration there. I look forward to more of your work. Cheers!

A country so rich, but yet poor. All presidents ended up in prison. They need a Milei and get f.cking socialims out of their heads.
